Morphology
The compound is compositional: 'bronzing' is the action/quality of making something bronze-colored and 'powder' is a fine cosmetic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer it is a powder used to give a bronze/tanned color to the skin. This formation is productive in English and has direct parallels in other languages (e.g. Spanish 'polvo bronceador', French 'poudre bronzante'), supporting full transparency.
Etymology
The word bronzing powder comes from bronzing meaning making skin look like bronze and powder meaning a fine dry makeup. You dust a light brown powder on your face to give a warm, 'sun-kissed' or 'tanned' look, so the name means a cosmetic that makes the skin look like a tan.
